Today, after a promotion at work, my new manager made me reset my password for a website we use. To do so, I had to answer the secret question I’d set two years prior. The question was "What is your favorite activity?" The answer I had to type out in front of my manager was "Drinking." FML

Today, I was logging into my work computer. My account became locked due to the many failed attempts at typing my password. Thinking I was alone, I said, “Fuck this shit” while dragging the keyboard off my desk. Turns out my supervisor was in the other room. I'd forgotten I'd changed my password the other day. FML

Today, my friend sent me an online money transfer. After forgetting the password and locking myself out of my account, I had to phone up the bank and have it reset. I was prompted to answer the security question, which was "What, what?" I had to say "In the butt." to get my money. FML

Today, at work, I was called into the office by my supervisor, on whom I have a massive crush. He called me in to get my password to make some adjustments on my work account and asked me what my password was. I had to hold eye contact with him and tell him my password is his full name. FML

Today, I was asked a security question by my bank's app when I tried using it after a year. After two to three wrong attempts, I got it correct with the answer, "Myself." The question was, "Who was your childhood friend?" FML

Password issues

Today, I had to log in to my computer on a projector in front of business associates at my dad's architecture firm. I typed in my username and apparently didn't hit the tab key hard enough, so I typed my password in the username box. The entire firm now knows my password is "tits123". FML

Today, my manager asked me for the password to my Internet so she could Skype family since she can't pay her bill. This is the same woman who just a week ago tried to evict me because my rent was an hour late. Trying to be the bigger person, I gave her the password. She changed my password. FML

Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML

Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML

Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML

Today, my co-worker spent the afternoon taking online personality quizzes and messaging everyone the results. She was particularly proud of one which told her she was a hard-working overachiever. My boss walked by just as the message for that one popped up and I got in trouble for slacking off. FML

So...? Managers can have a sense of humor too. At least the answer wasn't "secret butt sex with a hamster"

Hey drinking is also my favorite activity but yeah I wouldn't want my boss knowing that!

I'd make a joke about Australians and their drinking, but I'm going to be more polite than that. :P I'm sure your boss doesn't care that much, he probably assumes it's either a long standing answer that you wouldn't forget, or a joke answer. If he does, explain to him that it's just from uni years or something...

that is just a dumb stereotype, I know plenty of Australians that don't drink or barely drink alcohol.

I know it's a dumb stereotype, hence why; a) I said I'd be more polite than that, and b) I put a ':P' at the end, that means I'm kidding.

You'd be in trouble if you were in Utah, but I see you are in Australia and drinking is like the national pastime down there. Your boss is probably disappointed in you for choosing a secret word that is too common and easy to guess!

I'm from Aus too, and my question is: how do all you Americans know that Australians are borderline alcoholics? Don't get me wrong, it's true, and we are. But I didn't realise it was common knowledge. Lol.
